3d Trees


Recommended Posts

I prefer the VW version 😁

 

Kidding aside,

yes it would be nice if VW Landmark would get more real or even when abstracted,

a more suitable plant representation.

 

But I grew into CAD/3D world when clients asked for a tree and a single 3D tree

had 5 times the complexity of the whole architectural model and decided about

needing 8 hours vs 7 days to render.

I am still a bit afraid of plants in typical CPU renderings. It is just a year or so ago that

I got confident by what 3D complexity you can throw into real time GPU renderers like

Twinmotion.

 

But now we are there and can add complex geometry,

VW plant representation starts aging.

 

For now,

depends on how and with which App you want to render your projects,

it might be worth to import your own Geometry or Symbols for important plants

into VW. Like from XFROG, Laubwerk and such offers.

Or even switch to another Software for Rendering like C4D or Twinmotion,

where it is easy to replace VW's 3D plant Symbols by other geometry.

 

I think Twinmotion Assets are, beside a few high res examples, also not known for

very realistic plants. I think Lumion or Enscape are more pleasing to landscape architects

but a) limited in variety and b) Windows only so far.

 

But yes, a valid request.

Beside overall visual quality,

plants delivered by VW should at least not look like different plants.

Hope it will improve.

For the money, despite all the clever stuff it does, when it comes to actually  winning the work i.e:  the concept stage presentation, it's dead last.

 

I think I've edited everything I drop on a plan drawing with colour and transparency to get something that doesn't look like sketch up in 2005.

 

Luckily there are 3rd party companies that can produce the initial concepts based on dwg's and my input that will win you the work..!!

@Stu Wilson I'm curious as to what software you consider first place for generating conceptual presentations based upon a model that will eventually be used for construction drawings...

 

In terms of plants, Vectorworks is certainly lagging in the content department.  However, it does provide the framework to create smart plant objects based upon your own content, and for that I am grateful.
